Biology is taught within the Outstanding Faculty of Maths and Science and has continues to enjoy exceptional student outcomes and a high level of progression in the STEM areas. The faculty was awarded grade 1 in the Ofsted inspection in 2014 and has continued to grow and develop its provision ever since.
